CC19 crashes/freezes?

Ever since I installed a few of the new updates to CC a couple weeks ago on my PC (unfortunately), I've had freezes and crashes and all around bad behavior. It's happened with Illustrator about 5 times, InDesign twice and Photoshop about three times - all in about a week and a half - two weeks. It seems like the new AdobeCC19 is pretty unstable. Has anyone else had issues with this? And if so, how did you resolve it?

usually, resetting preferences resolves the crashes.
